Sorry that the Gang has been a little absent over the Christmas holidays. It's been a lovely few days, so Baggy's been kept rather busy by everyone and not found much time for Creative Clara to blog. Today for instance Baggy and Calum went over for lunch with some lovely friends of ours. It's now 8.15pm and Clara has only just got to the laptop. The lunch lasted all the way in to the evening. The conversation went from political, to philosophical, to spiritual and whipped back and forth in between to our various horses. The time flew. Had Furry Mama not been fretting about Minty Mutt, we would probably still be there. But Mint needed a leg stretch and the chance to do his ablutions.
So when we got home at about 7.00pm, Furry Mama stuck Grotty's mucking out boots on and one of Calum's hi-viz coats over her little going-out dress, and she and Calum took Mint for a walk in the dark. We didn't go far but Mint was on a sniffing mission and kept trotting off. Because he's so huge, even with his flashing red light on, on his collar, if he faced away from us we couldn't see him at all in the dark. He had a lovely time. Because Baggy was wearing her nice dress, she didn't dry Minty off before letting him back in the house. Big mistake. The Domestic Goddess is not amused. How can one dog get so filthy during a short walk? He managed to drip wet mud all the way across the first rug, then lay down on the second rug and totally soaked it (in mud). Well The Goddess will be busy tomorrow when Calum goes back to work. At least it might stop Hormonal Hannah from getting in too much of a state, when she gets up and Calum isn't here. The house will feel very empty......
